A new research paper co-authored by researchers from UCRH, the Sydney Environment Institute and elsewhere has emphasised that the urgency of today’s ecological crises cannot be overstated.
The paper, Ecological Crises and Ecopolitics Research in Australia, has been published in the Australian Journal of Politics and History.
The paper explores how the impact and realities of climate change demand fresh approaches to politics and policy if we are to adequately respond to the magnitude of change which is actually taking place.
The findings recognise the need to engage directly with key institutions while also extending our gaze to the grassroots environment movement, community groups, financial institutions, local governments, and consumers.
The authors also advocate for a broader ethical perspective that extends beyond human communities, aligning with the gravity of our environmental challenges.
